In a video posted to Twitter, Gillibrand thanked her supporters and said she hopes she can unite the party to beat President Donald Trump and take back the Senate.

Today, I am ending my campaign for president.

I am so proud of this team and all we've accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve.

To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let's go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate. pic.twitter.com/xM5NGfgFGT
